Survivor Series 2020: 5 WWE Superstars who desperately need to win at the PPV

#2 Sasha Banks – RAW Women’s Champion vs. SmackDown Women’s Champion at Survivor Series

At WWE Hell in a Cell, Sasha Banks defeated her former best friend Bayley to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship for the first time in her career. She coupled that achievement by also successfully defending her title for the first time. But after that, Banks was brutalized by a returning Carmella for three weeks in a row, ahead of Survivor Series.

At the upcoming pay-per-view, Banks is set to lock horns with the RAW Women’s Champion, Asuka. After lying flat on face on three consecutive episodes of SmackDown, Banks desperately needs a huge victory at Survivor Series. This will help her regain the momentum that she had when she became the champion of the Blue brand a few weeks ago.

Not to forget, Asuka became the RAW Women’s Champion only after she defeated Sasha Banks for the title. The latter must give her best to avenge that loss at Survivor Series and prove her dominance before she eventually turns her attention towards Carmella. Moreover, a loss for Asuka will stir things up in the RAW Women’s division as other Superstars will be prompted to come forward and challenge The Empress of Tomorrow for the gold.

However, if Banks loses this match, then it should be because of interference from Bayley or Carmella. Otherwise, she will end up looking quite weak as the champion at Survivor Series.
